NC soft top roof rattle

Postby magenb » Thu Oct 18, 2012 10:00 am

The "male wedge" on the drivers side is loose causing a rattle. How do I take off the plastic cover so I can tighten up the wedge?

Just pull the plastic pin out..easy to get at with the roof released.
Lock the roof back then pull the cover STRAIGHT DOWN hard with a little wiggle.
It'll just pop off.
Tighten the two Phillips screws with a dab of Loctite.

Do it pretty soon...2 days was enough to see mine hanging by a thread.
